The Open Source Drop Lens
Connects your AI assistant to the open web. Point it at any URL and it pulls back clean, readable content, converting HTML to markdown so the model can actually process it.
You get web fetching with automatic content extraction, robots.txt compliance, and configurable request headers. Setup is one line in your MCP config. No API keys, no dependencies beyond the server itself. Completely free, no underlying service costs.
Maintained by the official Model Context Protocol team at Anthropic. This is the reference implementation for web access. If your AI workflow touches URLs at all, install this first. It is the baseline.
